Homeowners Update Meeting + Homeowners Update Meeting OCTOBER 19, 2016 Welcome to the SR 37 Improvement Project Resource Agency Meeting. Meeting is for resource agencies, so please feel free to ask questions. Format of the meeting will be a brief powerpoint presentation to provide some back ground on the project followed by a Google Earth tour This project is a collaborate effort led by the City of Fishers with Noblesville and Hamilton County, with assistance from INDOT. This is a large project that is moving quickly and there are several different consulting firms assisting Fishers, including RQAW, American Stucturepoint, and Lochmueller Group as well as many others.

PROJECT AREA This map shows the project area for the feasibility study. SR 37 is shown in yellow, I-69 and Fishers to the south and SR 32 in Noblesville to the north. Point out intersections

PURPOSE & NEED NEED: Congestion Under existing conditions (2010), 3 of the 8 intersections operate at substandard LOS in the PM peak period. 6 of the 8 intersections have at least one leg operating at substandard LOS in the PM peak period. In the forecast year (2036) 7 of the 8 intersections are forecasted to operate at LOS F in the PM peak period; the 8th intersection is forecasted to operate at LOS E. PURPOSE: Reduce Congestion Eliminate existing and forecasted congestion at the eight signalized intersections on SR 37 between 126th Street and SR 32. Study showed a congestion problem at the intersections Level of Service Rapidly developing area, so problem will simply continue to get worse If you have ever driven this area of SR 37 during rush hour you would have experienced this

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Reconstruct SR 37 to expressway with grade separated interchanges (roundabouts) at: 126th St., 131st St., 141st St., 146th St., Greenfield Ave., Town & Country Blvd., Pleasant St. and SR 32 Right in/right out access at 135th St. 2 Drainage easements: 1 ~ midway between 126th & 131st and 1 along 141st – both west of SR 37 Interchanges will include sidewalks and crosswalks for pedestrians and cyclists Construction of the 126th St., 131st St., 141st St., 146th St. prior to the northern 4 So what do we do to correct this problem. Project entails… Go back to map Phased construction, but environmental document completed for entire corridor.

INTERCHANGE RENDERING Picture of what it might look like Not design, just an example at 126th St. SR 37 depressed and 126th St. elevated Similar to Keystone through Carmel Trying to keep the footprint small and minimize ROW impacts

CURRENT SCHEDULE SCHEDULE MAY 18 Notice to Proceed 2016 2017 MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC JAN FEB MAR APR MAY 18 Notice to Proceed JUNE 3 Survey Notification Letters Mailed AUGUST 31 Survey Complete NOVEMBER 14 Stage 1 Plans JANUARY 11 Preliminary Field Check APRIL 12 Public Hearing Notice of survey letters mailed out in June Topographic survey is now complete and designers a busily working on design so we will have ROW estimates for the environmental document Draft EA should be submitted in late January with a public hearing in April Final EA/FONSI in June 2017

DESIGN STATUS Working on 30% Design Focusing on Interchange Layouts Vertical Profiles Overall drainage plan Anticipated Right-of-Way impacts Review Submission by November 15, 2016

ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS Proceeding with the project as an Environmental Assessment (EA) Working on adding project into the Long Range Plan Red Flag Investigation & Phase I Hazmat Report – at INDOT in review Waters Report – currently ongoing Historic Property & Archaeology Reports – complete Resource Agency Coordination Letter – sent to resource agencies on 9/13

DRAINAGE STATUS COMPLETED TASKS IN-PROGRESS TASKS Preliminary Field Survey Geotechnical Field Work (Borings) IN-PROGRESS TASKS Preliminary analysis of hydraulic impacts Finalizing geotechnical report 30% plan design

DRAINAGE STATUS – North Corridor 131st St SR 37 Ramapo Dr Lantern Rd 126th St

DRAINAGE STATUS – South Corridor Harrison Pkwy Allisonville Rd SR 37 141st St

DRAINAGE STATUS – Preliminary Analysis Report Existing watershed and stream flood conditions Proposed SR 37 outfall structures Review discharges, water levels, and flow velocities during rainfall events Recommendations to minimize impacts to the existing stream channels and adjacent properties.

TRAFFIC INFORMATION – STUDY AREA

TRAFFIC INFORMATION – EXISTING MODEL Data Collection Traffic Volume Counts Bluetooth Capturing Roadway Geometric Review Develop Model Existing Conditions Roadway Network Calibration

TRAFFIC INFORMATION – CONSTRUCTION SCENARIO MODEL Two locations constructed per year SR 37 to remain two lanes in each direction Possible sequencing: 141st Street & 126th Street 146th Street & 131st Street 141st Street & 131st Street Hot Spot Identification: Identify areas with increased volumes Identify potential improvements Roadway closures Addition of turn lanes Addition of signals Re-stripping Changing signal timings Traffic calming devices

TRAFFIC INFORMATION – DURING CONSTRUCTION Ongoing Data collection Traffic Volume Counts Bluetooth Capturing Travel Time Runs Site Visits Implement Traffic Control Strategies

BUSINESSES CONTACTED Business Owner Outreach Meetings 210 Unique Business Owner Contacts Approximately 80 businesses were represented at the June 15th meeting held at Pinheads Approximately 78 businesses were represented on September 21st at Ben & Ari’s Take a minute to discuss public involvement activities Robust public involvement, so in addition to a public hearing there are quarterly meetings with business owners and homeowners

HOMEOWNERS CONTACTED Homeowner Outreach Meetings 102 Unique Homeowner Contacts Approximately 50 homeowners attended the July 27th meeting held at Fishers Junior High One off meetings held with residents along Weaver Creek ditch to discuss drainage. CAC meeting following Stage 1 Plans
